Group Policies

Ability for administrators to assign different policies to different groups of users:

Groups policies are assigned to a group using policy sets, each of which is a collection of all policies that are applicable at a group level

Users are assigned policies by assigning a policy set to a group

The “Default Policy Set” is applicable to all users in the company by default. This “Default Policy Set” has the lowest priority

Policy sets are assigned a unique priority to resolve any conflicts arising out of users belonging to multiple groups

Each group can have only one policy set assigned to it, but a policy set can be assigned to many groups. If no policy set is assigned to a group, the policies from the “Default Policy Set” are applicable to that group
